And that's Anne Bonny, famous pirate!

I
You are a hollow man, Mike
You are a stuffed man, Mike
Leaning to the right
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Your dried voice, when
You whisper alone
Is quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or pigeons' feet over broken glass
In our dry city
You're a Shape without form, shade without colour.
A Paralysed force, gesture without motion;
I who have crossed
With direct eyes, to life's other Kingdom
Remember me—always—not only as a winning candidate
Not only as a Violent soul to them, but As the hollower, of men
II
Eyes you won't want to meet in dreams
In life's dream kingdom
They will appear:
There, my eyes are
Firelight on a low wing
There, from a tree swinging
Is the carcass of the Democratic Party
In the wind's singing
Closer and more screaming
Than a shooting star.
Let me be no clearer
In life's dream kingdom
I wear
Such deliberate unforms
Pilot's fighter jacket, sheepskin, converging tracers
In the sky
Behaving as the wind behaves
So near—
It's that final meeting
In the daylight kingdom
III
This is a living land
This is concrete land
Here the stoned images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of an ex mayor's hand
Under the twinkle of a shooting star.
It is like this
In life's other kingdom
You waking alone
At the hour when they are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form homelessness to a broken system.
IV
Your eyes are not here
My eyes are here
In this valley of blossoming stars
In this green valley of Brooklyn
This marbled jaw of your lost kingdom
In this last of banking places
You billionaires will grope together
And not avoid POURING DOWN YOUR WEALTH!
Gathered on the beach of the Hudson River
Sightless, unless
Your eyes reappear
As the perpetual Monopoly Man
Multifoliate jackass
Of life's daylight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.
V
Here you go round the prickly peach
Prickly peach prickly peach
Here you go round the prickly peach
At nine o'clock in the morning.
Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls Your Shadow
For Mine is the 10th District
Between conception
And abortion
Between emotion
And response
Falls my Shadow
Life is very fun
Between my desire
And my victory
Between your impotency
And your existence
Between their essence
And their wealth
Falls our Shadow
For Mine is the 10th District
For Mine is
Life is
For Ours is the
This is the way your fortune ends
This is the way their world ends
This is the way the billionaires will pay
Not with a bang but a whimper.
"Give me back my money! Please!"
